Q1.In a feature control frame, where does the tolerance value appear?
- A.In the first compartment
- B.In the second compartment✓ Correct answer
- C.In the last compartment
- D.Above the frame
Explanation
The frame is read from left to right. The first compartment holds the geometric characteristic symbol, the second holds the tolerance value together with any diameter symbol or material condition modifier, and the compartments after that hold the datum references in order of precedence.
Reference: CQI BoK III
Q2.The feature control frame below is attached to the top face of a plate.

What does it require?
- A.The face must be located within $0.05$ mm of its basic position
- B.The face must be square to datum A within $0.05$ mm
- C.The face must be flat within $0.05$ mm✓ Correct answer
- D.The face must be parallel to the bottom within $0.05$ mm
Explanation
The parallelogram symbol is flatness, and the value is the distance between two parallel planes that the whole surface must lie between. Flatness is a form control, so it never references a datum, which is why the frame has only two compartments. Parallelism, perpendicularity and position all require a datum and would show datum letters in the frame.
